To get back from Tehran sans passport would have required specialist diplomatic clearance, which would obviously have been available due to the circumstances.

The idiot cannot travel crab air because if the flight is required to divert to a foreign country he won't have any diplomatic clearance and could well find himself as guest of honour of another unsavoury regime. Ultimately he's a chimp for losing it in the first place, I'd charge him.

Strange, as i travelled sans passport to sunny downtown Dhahran courtesy of the fat albert fleet.

Hang on a minute, who carries their passport when out on patrol, be it a foot patrol or a boarding party? His passport should have been either in his locker or with his records on board HMS Cornwall....this doesn't make sense.

An emergency passport may be issued by the British Consulate for a single return trip back to the UK, handed in on arrival. You'd be amazed at the amount of people who lose/have their passports stolen when abroad. Some flight carriers will allow you to return to UK without a passport if you have sufficient proof of your being British and have a police report of theft.

Strange indeed because you shouldn't have done and, unless you are permanantly based there, you should have your passport on you at all times in Saudi Arabia anyway.
